Heating Tips:
Fire safety officials include cleaning your furnace
and chimney and only using space heaters tested by a nationally recognized
testing lab.There is no such thing as too much
insulation, and "insulation" isn't limited to the fiberglass
stuff in your walls and attic - get inserts for all outlets and switches
in your house; pull the baseboards back from the base of your walls:
many houses have up to an inch of airspace just letting cold air in
- caulk these if small enough, or get appropriate materials to close
up the gap if larger. The materials for these projects are relatively
inexpensive, and available at most variety stores.
Cooling Tips
There are a number of ways to keep you cool that are
budget friendly. You can prevent the heat from getting inside. You can
use 'buffer areas' to your advantage. You can use air movement to your
advantage. And you can make sure that your air conditioner is giving
the most cool air per dollar spent.
Let's begin with keeping the warm air outside. By merely closing your
blinds, shades and curtains you can reduce the heat gain from the sun
by up to 40%. If you have shutters or awnings on the outside that provide
shade for your windows, they will reduce heat gain by up to 70%. If
you didn't check your caulking and weather-stripping as part of your
spring inspection, there's still time. It's surprising how much energy
you can save with a few tubes of caulk. Don't forget to close your fireplace
damper, either. Windows that aren't shaded from the sun are prime candidates
for reflective solar film. Installing solar film is a relatively easy
do-it-yourself job. If you can handle a tape measure, razor knife and
a squeegee you can tint your own windows. If you're afraid you'll fail,
just buy enough film for one small window. Once you've successfully
completed it, you'll be going back to buy enough film for all the windows
that need tinting! Next, you'll want to evaluate your 'buffer areas'.
Most homes have an attic between the sun and living quarters of your
home. The air in your attic can be a blessing or a curse depending on
how you use it. In older homes, the attic was typically an unventilated
space used for storage. When the summer sun beat down on the roof temperatures
inside sky rocketed. Readings of well over 100 degree F. were common.
The ceiling of the highest level of your home divides that hot air from
your living space. The first thing is to make sure that you have sufficient
insulation in the attic floor. Attic insulation can save up to 30% of
your cooling bill. Depending on your attic's configuration and your
level of expertise, this can be another do-it-yourself type of job.
Also check to see that your attic is well ventilated. Roof and attic
ventilators help by allowing hot air to escape and cooler outside air
to enter. With proper air flow your attic shouldn't be any warmer than
the outside air. Unless you're a pretty comfortable with tools, adding
roof and attic ventilators and fans is not a job for the homeowner.
If you do attempt it yourself, remember not to cut any structural members!
Another inexpensive way to keep cool is to use air movement to your
advantage. Remember last winter when they spoke of the 'wind-chill'?
You subtracted the wind speed from the temperature to get an idea of
what the air felt like. The same is true in summer. If you can keep
your air moving it will feel colder. Fans are a great way to create
your own wind-chill. If the relative humidity is less than 70% you might
consider opening the windows. This works best if you can open windows
on opposite sides of the house and use a fan to pull air through your
home. Ceiling or oscillating fans are another good way to keep air moving.
If your air conditioning vents are in the floor install reflectors to
direct the cooler air upward. Remember, cool air sinks towards the floor.
Experts advise trying to keep the coolest air between a height of 3
to 7 feet from the floor.
Although air conditioners are complex, there are some things that a
homeowner can do to maintain peak system efficiency. If your air conditioning
filters are dirty, you're burning money. For replaceable filters, change
them every spring and fall. If you have pets you should consider a quarterly
cycle, maybe even monthly. For washable filters, it's best to clean
them monthly. Check the outside portion of your air conditioner. Cut
plant growth from around the unit. Remember, the unit's job is to exhaust
hot air outside of your house. If air can't circulate through the unit,
it can't do a good job. You can check the system to see if it's working
properly. The only tool you'll need is a thermometer. Compare the temperature
reading between your return air duct and the register nearest the unit.
The difference should be about 15 degrees. If the difference is less
than 12 degrees check the air flow both inside the house and outside,
too. If the air flow isn't blocked and the circuit breaker's not tripped,
it's time to call a service person. One of the most commonly asked questions
is how high to set your thermostat. You can cut your air conditioning
costs by 5 to 7% for each degree you raise your thermostat. Experts
say that most people should be comfortable with a setting of 78 to 82
degrees. If you'll be away from home for 4 hours or more, set the thermostat
at 82 degrees or turn off the system. For shorter times, it's less expensive
to just let the system on. Don't forget to control other sources of
heat inside your home. Cooking and bathing add heat. If possible use
an exhaust fan to pull the hot air outside your living space. If you
haven't already, wrap R-12 insulation around your water heater and exposed
hot water pipes. Without insulation your hot water heater will release
heat into your home. You lose twice. Once to reheat the water. Twice
to remove the heat from the air in your home! You don't need to sweat
over your electric bill to keep cool in the summer. Like so many things,
common sense goes a long way.
